Let's Play Connections

[Sandi Bo]

Not for me today :-(
I don't know how I didn't have yellow, it's one of those I swear I tried.

Spoiler: solution 3.17.24

Thought of purple, not familiar with 'Deep Fake'
Good one. (Should have gotten blue).

 

[slip]

A Perfect today with Purple by default.

 

[DaveNV]

What the hell is a DEEP FAKE??

Needless to say, I failed today.

I call shenanigans!

[Patri]

Got it in four. Purple first, blue by default.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Thank you! I bombed yesterday as well. I do this with my siblings and they were 4's and 5's, I was like 'how?????'... OTH, Jackie O popped right out at me the other day, and a couple of them failed. So apparently I don't think like they do. I had never heard of cat's pajamas and my brother asked me what house I grew up in. It's fun, we sure don't all think the same.

Knew all the connections, but had to look up sunflowers to determine why they were in the spiral category.

Very true! "Cat's Pajamas" goes with the era of "Cut a rug" and "23 Skidoo." Easy phrases, if you happen to know them, and impossible, if you don't.

Like so many of these Connections - if you know, you know. And if you don't know, you complain -- like me. LOL!

Blue for the wrong reason. Yellow and green because I spent twenty minutes trying to figure them out. Purple by default although it now seems more obvious. The whole thing tired me out before I even got out of bed!

 

[Sandi Bo]

A hard fought great! Purple took a bit to see, and didn't make green any easier, I only had 3 of them and guessed lucky after 1 miss. Blue by default.

One miss for a Great today. Green by default.

 

[DaveNV]

KInd of upside down today. ??

Dave

 

[Sandi Bo]

OY. I started the day with my best ever mini-crossword time, worked my way through wordle with a five, and tried, but failed miserably, on connections. I had yellow on paper but with 5 items. Good luck!

[clifffaith]

One miss. And I didn’t get a “one away” message where it should have been, which actually made me see/solve purple before yellow.

 

[DaveNV]

I don't understand purple today, even after I lost and they told me the connection.
None of those four words meant anything close to what they said. ??

Zilch for me.

CREAM, JOURNEY, KISS, and RUSH are rock bands. Well, I have not heard of cream...

OOOOHHH!!!!! Ok. I misunderstood. I was using the entire word, not just the start of it. D'oh!

The one you have not heard of was a late 60s thing. Eric Clapton's name may ring a bell.

Dave, relieved

 

[Sandi Bo]

Cute one.. I needed this after yesterday.
And still... purple by default!

[clifffaith]

Purrfect! (Purple by default)

 

[slip]

A fast Perfect today with Blue by default.

 

[DaveNV]

So tell the truth: How many of you got purple before it defaulted? No way on Earth (See what I did there?) I'd have known what they wanted.

Two misses for a Solid early this morning.

 

[clifffaith]

Not a good day.
